(CNN) -- When a new president strolls into the White House, there's a kick in his step and a twinkle in his eyes.This photo illustration projects what President-elect Barack Obama may look like in four years.But as the years go by, the high-stakes decisions, constant criticisms and the fluctuating public opinion chip away at the president. His shoulders slump a little and his energy may seem sapped.The president ages twice as fast while in office, according to a theory advanced by Dr. Michael Roizen, a chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic."The typical person who lives one year ages one year," he said. "The typical president ages two years for every year they are in office."Using public information, Roizen looked through medical records of previous presidents back to Theodore Roosevelt. Assessing factors such as diet, blood pressure, physical activity and lifestyle habits, he calculated that the leader of the free world ages more quickly.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Reagan pulled it off, but he was pretty unique.
Reagan was also older when he took office than Bush or Clinton. He didn't "age" as much but he still did.
Good finds -- he mostly got age lines.Even the worst POTUS ever (carter) aged quite a bit in office.
